A Family Is A Field Of Joy
Maharishi once said "A family is a field of joy" and we know that Maharishi's statements are deeply profound and can produce the awakening into Brahman Consciousness. This statement is particularily suitable for those who are in family situations. Sometimes the family situation is, on the surface, far from "a field of joy"! Severe health problems with children can occur and bring on much distress, the anxiety and pain caused by a teenager's drug use, the unfaithful spouse, or the death of a child are examples of family situations that appear on the surface to be nothing like a field of joy. So why would Maharishi make such a statement when family life is sometimes the apparent source of deep sorrow and misery? Human life is a transition period on the ascending phase of the cycle of evolution, from the unconscious realms of nature to the superconscious realm of Brahman Consciousness. To make this transition we have to wake up from the dream of daily life. Have you noticed how in a dream, just before you wake up, it sometimes gets very violent or bizzar, actually forcing you to think "hey, I don't want to do this anymore - wake up!" So called "waking state" human life is actually a dream from the perspective of Brahman Consciousness. We can at any time choose to wake up from this dream and become established in Brahman Consciousness. Then we look back and see how that whole period of life before was just like a dream where one is lost in a morass of ridiculous situations, sorrow, misery, happiness, unhappiness, etc. It says in the Yoga Vashista:

Activate the Anterior Amygdala for Limitless Mental Ability
The amygdala manages connections and responses between several regions of the brain. It's directly involved with emotional well-being, the flight-or-flight response and fear conditioning. A recent study also suggests that the amygdala plays a role in the complexity of social life. Most importantly, research by T. D. A. Lingo has established that the anterior portion of the amygdala is connected to the frontal lobes. If one activates the anterior portion of the amygdala, the frontal lobes will open to limitless mental ability.

As we progress on the Path to Brahman Consciousness, we will all, as did S'rî Râm , slay Râvana . Râvana is the collection of karma and ungounded energy that is expressed as arrogance. To destroy arrogance, we must call upon our Âtman to give us the secret of how to do this. The Âditya Hridayam is that secret.

Ananda Technique
At the deepest level of consciousness in this universe is the body of Bliss, the Anandamaya Kosha . This is the body that we all share. This is the entire universe. You are this body of Bliss at your core. This graphic illustrates the 5 bodies or Koshas that every human being has: anamaya kosha : the body of ana or food - the physical body of skin, bones, tissues, etc. pranamaya kosha : the body of prana or energy. Prana is that subtle non-physical substance which is responsible for all transmutation of physical matter. We should understand prana as that which causes chemical reaction, and chemical reaction is the process, which transmutes one physical substance into another. The pranamaya kosha of one person is different from the pranamaya kosha of another like one whirlpool in the river is different from another. Both whirlpools are made of the same water, but if we study the two different whirlpools we will see differences between them. Like this, my pranamaya kosha and your pranamaya kosha are made of the same prana but they are different. manomaya kosha : the body of manas or mind. Manas is the cause of all movement in prana . When manas is still, prana is still. When manas is active, prana is active. vijnanamaya kosha : the body of vijnana or intellect. Vijnana is the seat of the knowledge of the parts or components of what makes an individual unique. anandamaya kosha : the body of ananda or bliss. There is only one anandamaya kosha in the realm of Lord Brahma , which is shared by all, in a state of relative Unity.
